Here are five things to watch for as the votes come in today's U.S. election.
WASHINGTON — Americans are facing a decision about the future of their country and no matter which president they choose, Canada cannot escape the pull of political polarization from its closest neighbour.
Harris has campaigned on the fact that she voted against the trilateral agreement, saying it didn't do enough to protect American workers or the environment. The vice-president is largely expected to maintain President Joe Biden's Buy American procurement rules.More than 77 per cent of Canadian exports go to the U.S. and 60 per cent of Canada's gross domestic product is derived from trade.
Both campaigns have indicated the state is part of their path to victory, and whoever wins the Keystone State may only need two other battleground states to take the White House."If you are looking at Pennsylvania, think about how voters in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin are similar to each other," said Matthew Lebo, a specialist in U.S. politics at Western University in London, Ont.
Senate: American voters will be making multiple choices in the voting booth, electing not only the president but also members of the Senate and the House of Representatives. Those down-ballot races are extremely important to determine who controls each chamber of Congress.The Senate controls the process for presidents to appoint cabinet positions and has power over treaties. Depending on who is in control, there could be consequences for Canada, Lebo said.
Specific races to watch: Virginia's open-seat contest between Democrat Eugene Vindman and Republican Derrick Anderson; another open-seat contest in Michigan between Democrat Curtis Hertel and Republican Tom Barrett; and Nebraska’s fight between Republican incumbent Don Bacon and Democratic challenger Tony Vargas.
